As she looked towards the entrance of the church doors, with her newly solid silver heart shaped ring on her finger.
She looked at him with the purest of love with her hazel coloured eyes.
She had dreamt of this day for many years and now it was finally here.
As he took her hand with a firmly tightened grip, as though he was carefully wrapping up a wonderful Christmas Gift for her. She could feel, her heart warming.
It was the feeling of a cosy log fire on a cold winter’s day.
As he took a hold of her hand she felt the butterflies fluttering around yet again, inside of her.
This time it felt different, with the emotion of love, fully penetrating each inch of her being. It was as though she finally understood the true meaning of what the word Love, really meant to her, on a romantic level.
As the two of them made their way down the isle, the invisible coat hanger in her mouth felt as though it would be visiting with her for many years to come.
She was basically a happy and positive soul, but on this day she was floating on the biggest and the most happiest of clouds. That any woman could ever imagine being on.
She truly understood the meaning of real happiness, with regards to how the deepest of feelings mean, within the realms of romance.
Of course she had other people in her life that she loved and cared about and that would never change.
Today, this union confirmed the inner switching on of lights and now everything felt much brighter inside of her.
She was like a button on a technological device, with an instant connection as she felt her heart gently roaming and exploring those present moments. With thoughts of future days of their life together coming nearer, into view. Cloud nine had nothing on Justine, during those present moments.
As she slowly walked towards the church doors for the first and the very last time with her amazing man, her gallant knight, her mr. right. The one who, she had promised herself to a while back, of those days before.
For her heart had been fully captured this time and she enjoyed the feelings and the emotions, that her heart felt.
As she glanced down at her pearl white wedding slipper shoes and her long trailing ivory cow necked satin, with a touch of lace wedding dress. She knew that she was finally filled to the brim with complete and total happiness.
That feeling of forever was like a missing piece, to her life’s puzzle. As Robert glanced over at Justine, with his dark brown puppy dog eyes, she knew that she had made the right decision.
That feeling of forever had encased them both, like a cocoon, but caught within the emotion of love.
It was these feelings between them that had now created their new reality.
As they held each other’s hands, gently but firmly. Walking towards the doors of the church together, as though in a dreamscape scene, from a love story.
From these new moments, step by side and side by side.
As this marked a new time together, as they both made their way out of the church doors and down the steps into the open air.
As their journey together as man and wife, had only just begun.
